Abstract
THESE essays, covering a wide range of subjects—including, for example, “The Last Judgment,” “Vitamins,” “Cancer Research,” “What Use is Astronomy”—have mostly been published before, some in popular scientific journals, others in the daily and weekly press. Those dealing with physiology, where Mr. Haldane is on his own ground, well bear re-publication, but it seems unfortunate that some articles of merely ephemeral value should have been included. At any rate, a clue to the original date of appearance would have been helpful as a reminder of the events which originally inspired them. On the other hand, some of the articles, particularly those on research, could have been enlarged with advantage.
